Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Gunmen opened fire at a bar in the Ejido neighborhood on Tuesday night, wounding two people and interrupting a broadcast of the Mexico-Ecuador soccer match.
The attack occurred around 9:30 p.m. at the bar Al Son de María Regia, located on Calle 4 between Avenidas 120 and 125. Armed individuals fired shots at the establishment and then fled, according to police reports.
Paramedics transported the two injured individuals to a hospital. One of the victims was a waiter at the bar. Municipal police officers cordoned off the area. No arrests have been reported.
The bar previously operated under the name El Bom Bom de Tatich, where a person was killed in January 2025. In September 2025, gunmen also fired at the same location, wounding a doorman.
